Usage: data-uri FILES... [--raw]
  Create data-uris from binary files. If the file is an image, CSS, or
  Javascript file, it will be wrapped in an approprate HTML tag. If you want
  just the raw base64 encoded string use the --raw option.

Available options:
  -h,--help                Show this help text
  --raw                    Don't wrap base64 encoding in HTML tags.
